Ashley Graham's secret to happy marriage: 'Have sex all the time'

Ashley Graham has insisted the secret to a happy marriage is to have sex “all the time.”

The curvy model, one of the hottest names in the fashion industry, met videographer Justin Ervin at church in 2009, and married him the following year.

When asked about how she keeps her relationship “fresh” in an interview for the February issue of U.S. Elle magazine, Ashley commented that intimacy is key.

“Just have sex!” she laughed. “Have sex all the time. Even if you don’t feel like it, just have sex. I have found that if we haven’t had sex, we get snippy, and then if we are having sex, we’re all over each other. For us it’s like, ‘Oh, let’s have sex.’ And then we’re just right back in a great mood.”

After upending fashion's beauty standards, @ashleygraham is taking aim at becoming America’s next top mogul. “People have always put me in this box of Oprah, or Ellen,” she says in ELLE's February issue. “I’m gonna be Ashley.” https://t.co/5ArsbGaibm

Ashley opened up about the “innocent and sweet” way in which Justin courted her in her 2017 memoir A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like, and recalled how they decided to wait to have sex until they were married.

And she is adamant that their decisions actually made their bond stronger.

“Something that it did for us was build up our friendship, and it also built up our trust and communication,” the 31-year-old noted. “Of course, we were sexually attracted to each other; we would make out heavily. All those things were there. I wasn’t worried about, ‘What’s sex gonna be like with him?’ It was more, ‘Do I trust him? Is he someone I want to be with for the rest of my life?’”

Elsewhere in the chat, Ashley spoke about how she was about to fly to her native Nebraska to meet her sister’s new baby.

And while she was excited to spend time with her niece, she doesn’t plan on having her own children at the moment.

“For me, being a wife and being a woman, happiness doesn’t equate to having kids. Kids will come when they come. Happiness, right now, is building with my husband and building my business,” she smiled.
